Josh123slater Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Hi guys, It all started last Thursday when the droppings started to get very wet. Since then I have lost 4 youngs ones in the nest. The old birds are showing no signs of illness apart from the droppings. I treated for salmonella Thursday then, clean water til today now treating with trimax 4 in 1. Canker, cocci, worms and parasites. Droppings are still clear water, some are green others are whitish water.They are fed twice a day on verse laga breeding mix atm. Any ideas or advice will be welcome?

bibendium Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 I would doubt you could treat for Salmonella in one day Most treatments are courses ranging from 7 days onward depending on severity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh123slater Posted March 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 I was told with the stuff I used to use it for 2 days then again in 3 weeks for another 2 days. I had the stuff off a veteran fancier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh123slater Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Only watery dropping they are showing, no other signs of any. Only got 15 young birds. And 12 pair of old birds in the loft. Thanks for your replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just ask me Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Getting a culture test done is probably your best bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter pandy Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Reading your post would suggest to me that nestlings have a severe "E,Colli infection obtained from the parents, To treat I would put 20 Mls Vinegar per Litre of Water in drinkers and Lemon or Lime Juice on the feed for a couple of days. Acidify the gut should clear the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh123slater Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I treated for ecolli on January 15th.it was trimax 4 in 1 for 5 days. Is it possible they could still have the infection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDCHEQHEN Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Trimax 4 in 1 Contains: Ronidazole, Amprolium, Moxidectin. it therefore isn't for e-coli which is a bacterial infection. You need to get your birds tested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh123slater Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I just realised it does not cover ecolli. I thought it did. What's the best thing for ecolli? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainman Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I am no expert but could it be a case of salt poisoning by which i mean the parents have gorged on grit minerals and clay blocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh123slater Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Could be mate there's grit available to them. It smelt very fishy in the loft today aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Funny smell from the droppings would suggest a yeast infection....but I cannot tell you for certain, get a culture test done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh123slater Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Yeah I'll get a test done. Only way to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy_bulger Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 sounds like streptococcal infection I would get culture done and if it is treat with doxycycline 10% or 12% strength.hope you get sorted.jimmy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulkie Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Do yourself a favour And get the dropings tested you could treat them from now to christmas And still not get the right medication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
